I saw do a housewife all star vacation special...take the fun girls from all the sjows...and have them go toget her to have fun, fight, and just have a blast.  I'd watch it :)

Yes ! And on "Below Deck" !

[Lizzing]

This episode must have caught me in a weird mood because I actually enjoyed the Mexico stuff.  Yeah, Tamra, Vicki, & Shannon getting stupid drunk came off as producers trying to recapture the magic of seasons past, prior to the cancer scam, but I appreciated the effort.  Plus, even though these women seriously packed away the alcohol (15 drinks in a 12-14 hour period would have me either comatose or dead), none of them got insanely belligerent and the crying was kept to a minimum, which is all in sharp, positive contrast to NY's Colombia trip this season.  (NYC is my favorite franchise and I've been hoping OC would die so I could be released from its grasp, so it pains me to say this.)  And while Shannon did get teary, her emotion came across as genuine and not performative.  And, even though I felt bad for the airport workers having to clean up the mess, I never will NOT enjoy Vicki falling on her ass. 

The new women are totally FF material.  Lawyer gal's teeth bug me to no end...I can't figure out if the veneers are too big or too small for her mouth--they're just wrong.  Their kids are useless for this show; they're far too young to snark on comfortably and they're not doing anything to make their mothers interesting (by which I mean horrifying, in the grand tradition of this show's OC Angels, the Curtain girls, Lauri's poop condo daughter, either Ryan,  or even Jeanna's ungrateful shitty children).  Hell, they're too young to even rise to the level of "No ball in house, KoKo!" fun (which is really mostly from the WWC guys, not Peggy).  The new women need to be on a different show, for a different demographic.

Producers: You need to play the opening credits with the tag lines in EVERY episode. I think it’s literally half the reason I watch - maybe more than half. The taglines are fascinatingly cheesy. It’s fun to make up taglines for oneself and for other people IRL.

I can’t be the only one who likes them so much....can I? :)

Play them in every episode please! It just doesn’t feel like a complete episode without them. 

I completely agree!  I always notice when the credits are missing (was so annoyed with this season of Southern Charm because they completely did away with them). But I love the taglines, the silly posing, and mostly that Shannon's family shot includes Archie the Awesome.

[Mr. Miner]

I watched WWHL and Vicki is a disgusting, ignorant pig!

[Mu Shu]

Vicki is even more loathsome than in the last.  Bitch is just pissed that Tamra and Shannon are vibing and she’s the third wheel.  Also, let’s be real.  She gained quite a bit and didn’t have the guts and self awareness to get in the hot tub with super hot Tamra like Shannon did.  

She’s been reduced to pee gags and a paid escort.  My sneaking suspicion is that Tamra got a big increase, whereas she probably is getting paid less. Go sell some term life you odious sea hag.

Shannon is bringing sexy back. IN HER SPANX!   My god I needed that.

Please spill the beans! This doesn’t air where I live... what happened?

[ghoulina]

I'm so glad they showed Vicki's and Kelly's fight again so I could relive the moment where Vicki stood up and dinged her head on Kelly's chandelier. Vicki, never stop hitting your head on things! 

Otherwise....snooze. This was an episode full of drunk bitches falling over and crying about shit. Goodness. I'm not here to condemn grown women for having fun, even if it's not how I'D have fun. I'm not going to say they're "too old", because....why? I mean, I wouldn't flash my tits or dance on a bar at 21 or 61. But at least they weren't fighting and screaming all over Mexico. 

The only time I get really irritated with this behavior is when it causes damage or inconvenience to other people and/or property. Breaking the glasses at the airport? Not cool. Breaking your own foot trying to jump into a mother fucking hot tub? Haw-haw! 

I'll admit, I did laugh my ass watching those heifers trying to get Tamra's crippled ass to the beach. 

My only issue was actually Vicki - acting like she's so above all those antics. She literally did the sign of the cross when Tamra flashed people. I guess Steve has her under his thumb. Her boobs will not be coming out to play any time soon. 

I don't really want to dissect the Vicki-Kelly-Steve-Michael thing any more. but I will say it was kind of telling that Vicki immediately called Michael upon leaving Kelly's house. My guess is that Steve has become close friends with Michael and Vicki wants to please Steve, so she's probably trying to play both sides. I think there are better ways to handle it. She could let Steve and Michael do their thing without really getting involved. But she's so damn needy and co-dependent, she can't be left out of anything her man is doing. Look at Tamra and Shannon. Apparently Eddie still hangs with David, but I cannot see Tamra going out on dates with him, or even really talking to him. She lets Eddie do her thing, but keeps her loyalty to her friend. 

Vicki will just always put that love tank above everything, even when it's not being adequately filled. She's pathetic and so transparent.

Lol! I love it...."Odious sea hag"!! That would make a great tagline for Vicki. You rock MuShu!

[lamujerdecente]

Vicki is the worst of humanity. There is no redeeming this puffy papa faced hag. She is a racist. A liar. A hyporcrite. A sloth. Envious. I am surprised the bible doesn't burn when she touches it. Well she doesn't, she googles bible verses. This is my last season with the OC. If she stays. Jill Zarin  P. Parks, none of these women compare to this vile creature. And they were fired. I think less of Shannon that she chose to kiss her and pretend for cameras. Thats why everyone is drunk around her. To dull the pain of being around this thing.

I will forgive Kelly for a lot if she punches this Vile hag into the ocean. Please?

And I am not body shaming but she has really gotten bigger these last few seasons. As vain as she is I cackle just a bit because I know it kills her to be so big. Stop drinking. If nothing else everyone around you needs it more.

I adore Shannon when she shows the world what many of us struggle with. The struggle with weight as you get older, the hit to your self esteem, trying to deal with the fact you now realise you were pretty smug and enjoyed your younger slimmer body and now you struggle to let go of your desire to still have that body because at your age you know that that’s societal pressure to look a certain way and you know you shouldn’t succumb to that pressure....but damn, you do want your younger body and damn it does hit your self esteem.... and damn your younger self for being so smug!

You don’t want to jump into the spa and show off your older body... but then you’re old enough to let go of the worry (alcohol probably reduces the care factor!) about flashing your not so perfect body (perfect in who’s world... who sets that bar?). The struggle...not just with your new body and your struggle to accept changes with age, but the struggle regarding knowing you shouldn’t be body shaming yourself. You really understand the body/health business that we live in and the media portrayal of the perfect physique and how that effects us and our behaviours ....blah blah blah. You get all that yet you still feel body shame. 

Shannon not wanting to get ‘nekkid ‘ for the spa? Yes! Shannon letting go of the fear? Yes! Shannon showing us her gorgeous not size zero body? Yes!  I do not want her to ever feel embarrassed about showing off all her body fears, and remedies (the spanx) and then flashing her body. I think she’s a great role model for her daughters, and all of us, for letting us see and normalise the struggle.

I forget what the technical term is for it, but it's when a parent behaves like the child is a peer or a partner. It's all very odd to me.

Yup. That was the exact same thought I had. Both are single parents, using the child as a surrogate for their spouse.

Vicki on the beach, saying she’s learned her lesson about talking about people.  Um, yeah, you learned the wrong lesson.  The lesson was to not create and/or repeat malicious gossip (eg, Eddie’s gay).  But you should at least give your friend a heads up if you are double dating with their very recent ex husband.  Yes, even if they instigated the breakup.

I like Shannon. A lot. She’s herself warts and all. And her body is lovely. Over 40 bellies can be hard and the way these broads drink don’t help the belly cause but I like how she enjoys herself regardless if she feels her body is where she wants it if that makes sense. I would like to see her in more modern looks but I appreciate that she doesn’t squeeze into sausage Casing like her amiga Vicki.

Why is Shannon embarrassing herself by getting into a hot tub in her Spanx? '-)

I was thinking, if David was watching this, he would think to himself, “ thanks goodness I left” while sitting with his new 20 years younger chick.  Also, remember when David had to pull something out of Shannon’s arse?  I’m married a long time, and would NEVER ask husband to do that.  Some things should be left private.  Sex is one thing, but something like that is gross.

From the beginning I never understood why Shannon was doing this show? Every time I surfed by she was kvetchin' about her own life and health so much, I wondered where was the entertainment value? She pretty much thinks she's an honorary doctor with her very personal and specific questions on others and what's going on with them! When I saw that thing with David trying to clean his nails after that disgusting procedure she performed for the world to see and hear about! ;-(

She's still setting Michael up with women and not telling Kelly.

And as I could have predicted, once she leaves Kelly's house and immediately calls Michael, no doubt to report on her behavior to him.  You haven't changed, you effing bitch.  You haven't changed at all.  Now that you're back being tight with Tamra and Shannon, you kick the ONE person who actually stood up for you during all this to the curb.  Tamra was right - "wait till she starts on YOU."  And Tamra also had it right (and I can't believe I'm saying this) when she said "it would be like Eddie and I fixing up David with women and double dating with them."

And YES, Icki, you WERE "fixing him up."  Deny it all you want.  How many BBQ's, by the way, have you thrown to introduce Kelly to men who might be interesting for HER?  I'm thinking.....NONE.

This bothered me.  David got up 3 or 4 in the morning.  He would come home and start eating chips as he was starving.  Shannon would get annoyed because dinner wasn’t ready.  Why oh why didn’t she cook earlier and let the guy eat when he came home?  IMO, he’s out busting his ass all day in construction and should have a hot meal whenever he wanted, even tho it was 3 in the afternoon.  I felt like Shannon was all about her .. her body, her crystals, Dr. Moon and all her other quirks.  I never saw her ask him how he was doing.  Two sides to every story.  Let’s hear his.

Meh. We don’t always vacation from our bodies.... plus she’s on the ol’ tv. So it’s embarassing that she’s trying to slim with spanx?

[BodhiGurl]

Shannon going into the hot tub with her spanx genuinely made me laugh - with her - not at her. It was a hoot. And good to see her enjoying herself. Despite her frequent neurosis, I like Shannon. I give Tams credit for how she has taken care of her body, but her flashing, nekkidness in the hot tub etc are all too attention - hor- ee for my tastes... Needs constant attention, I'd rather be Shannon in that hot tub scenario - although she has rampant self esteem issues when it comes to her appearance as well, BUT, she doesn't seem to be asking for constant ego stroking in that regard. I am so beyond over VIcki and her shenanigans. Like my ability to tune into this season is hanging on by a thread. I would love for Kelly to rip her a new one, or either of the new gals to go toe to toe with Vicki but I doubt we'll see that. The previews make it seem as tho they go after Shannon, which I don't want to see. I'm also in the same boat as those who have expressed a lack of interest in scenes with the newbies children. Yawn. the RH shows have all gotten to a point where the vast majority have grown children, or kids who are at least teenagers. Few exceptions. The vast majority of the women are in their latter 40's +. Thus I imagine the viewing audience is "of a certain age" (and I fall into that "certain age" category), so watching super young children bounce off the walls is not entertaining... Anywho. I'm guessing the newbies will fall in line to worship Vicki and thus - I'm out. I could barely hang on last season with Lydia's antics and Peggy's general presence on the show... I've not looked forward to watching any of these new episodes and yet tune in out of habit. I wish they'd dump Vicki. Even if it means Tamra becomes the queen bee... Sigh.

I was no fan of David's, but I said the same thing! She needed to adjust the dinner schedule to accommodate his hours! After seeing what my new diet is doing for me, it would benefit her a lot to do it as well; an 16/8 intermittent fast! Eat dinner early and don't eat anything until breakfast or lunch the next day! It's working for David; eating early, getting exercise, and seemed to get plenty of sleep! All those things are keeping him slim while Shannon's pushing maximum density! ;-)

I hope Shannon has a real shark of a lawyer and really takes that prick to the cleaners.

I don't think David was slaving away on a construction site - doesn't he own the construction company? If not he's very high on the food chain - he is/was making a ton of money at some point - thus the huge house and the OC lifestyle... Not like he's pouring concrete all day. He also found time to have an affair (if not multiple affairs), I can understand why Shannon pulled away from being a perfect housewife and having dinner ready for him. Much dysfunction going on behind those walls. Good thing they finally separated. 

[cheewhiz]

I just cant get into these new housewives for some reason. I think it's the kids, I don't care about your mommy and me classes and watching moms dress children, no thank you .  I ff through most of their scenes to get back to the fun girls in Mexico. I do see issues with the new one, Gina (?), the one from Long Island. I don't think that marriage is going to last, don't have a real valid reason to think that, just a gut feeling. I wish Kelly would have been in Mexico with them, that would have been great tv.

Shannon is drinking vodka.  So stupid when you’re trying to lose weight.  Sometimes I wonder about her.

The need to dull the pain (through vodka) is outweighing her desire to lose weight... Her rational desire to lose weight is weaker than her emotional ‘need’ to forget her pain with a drink or two.

And I can understand a man wanting another woman who wasn’t so into herself.  He was bring home the bacon while she was in a beautiful home, not working, and pampering herself.  A boss may not shovel the cement, but has a responsibility to the job and his employees and clients. Lol

I hear you on Tamra’s nakedness, but I will give her this: she looks great, for any age.  And she works her ass off for it, and embodies the fitness lifestyle. I’m pretty into fitness and am often surprised how many very fit people are actually extremely insecure about their bodies — like a reverse dysmorphia where you just don’t see your progress and refuse to be happy with yourself, constantly comparing yourself to others, etc. So it’s nice to see Tamra at peace with her body.

THAT SAID, I could do without the tit flashing. But, it’s still Trashy Tammy!! I like how the born-again religious Tamra is rapidly fading away. From being baptized in a pool to titty flashing on top of a trashy Mexican  bar. (And I’ll never get sick of the scene of her throwing wine in Jeana’s face - that is the moment Tams established herself as queen bee. But what often goes overlooked is the fact that Jeana was accusing Tamra of lying about being hit by Simon - a major call-out that I bet was true. Glad Jeana got that dig in before her wine shower. )

Now the real attention whore with the nakedness is one Ms. Beth Frankel from NYC. She’s not into fitness or health, but my Lord she certainly cares about being skinny. She’s so proud of the fact that she’s skinny that she started a company about it, and her naked scenes are her flaunting the fact that she is skinny vs  loving and embracing a body she worked hard for.  Aderral is much easier than spin classes.  And insta photos in your young daughter’s shirt is almost more attention whorish than flashing your tits at Andale’s in some ways now that I think about it ?

Plus he's not the only one in the house. They have 3 kids who likely aren't even home from school by 3 pm. I don't know. My teenagers come home from school starving so they get a snack to hold them over until dinner.

I don't think Shannon's self-esteem issues are *that* bad. She wouldn't be on a show and put herself out there to the world if they were, I think. I know I'd never do it!

I’m barely hanging on with this one too - imo the three of them just looked sad and desperate last night. I was hoping that Shannon’s new single status would lead to a healthier, happier person - I’m not interested in watching her get shit-faced and cry about David. I also don’t care to see Tamra’s fake boobs - how desperate does she have to be to flash in public and run around naked? And Icky Vicki - no thanks!

I'll admit, I did laugh my ass watching those heifers trying to get Tamra's crippled ass to the beach. 

Me as well. I also got a snicker out of all of the other holiday makers laughing and smiling at their antics. Much better than the looks they got in the airport (sneers)

Tamra: I love Eddy so much. I love him more every day. I can't live without him. I would die without him. Now, pass me another shot of Tequila, please, while I lift my shirt  and show the world my fake titties so I can forge a new, meaningful relationship with my already humiliated daughter. Amen and thank you Jesus.

Shannon, Tamra and Vix + public setting + tequila = embarrass. Why must someone always hit the ground? The spectators enjoy this immeasurably:

What I am wondering is does Vicki always have to pee her pants?

This Vicki/Shannon conversation and make-out session is making me very uncomfortable.

I didn't want to see their gyrations on the bar and I definitely didn't want to see them kiss.

I loved that they got so many bystander WTF/amused shots.

Vicki had a new set of plastic surgeries right after the filming ended for this season, according to US magazine.  She needed it cause she’s been looking really hag-ish.  

Just once I’d love to see the show send these bitches on vacation and have them walk into a shit hole of a hotel.  

If I were Shannon’s kids, I’d be embarrassed that she was my mom and her friends are disgusting excuses for human beings.  

Had she left her face alone from the get go she would look fine.  She is only 2 years older than my sister and she looks a ton older.  I think its a combo of bad plastic surgery, bad life habits, and her black soul making her look like shit.  I was really embarrassed for them in Mexico and I pitied anyone that had a room near theirs.  With all the booze, slippery floors, and inappropriate shoes they are lucky no one got more hurt.  It isn't that I think these ladies are too old to drink and let their hair down, I think once the clothes start coming off, bones are broken, and pants are peed on its time to sober up.

As long as they don't make a habit of it, I've got no problem with 50-somethings cutting loose and getting a little smashed.  And I'm a 50-something who would NEVER do that kind of thing. But I've got some fun-loving friends who might. I don't know enough about them to know if drinking is a problem. Maybe for Shannon? I don't know. But I think she's entitled to let loose a little - her kids are safely at home. No big deal.  I would contrast this to Dorinda who seems to be such a mean, angry drunk. I'll take Spanxx in the hottub any day!

She pisses her pants so often because she doesn't like to use the bathroom frequently.  She's got some weird hang up about peeing at regular intervals and just holds it until she has an accident.  The woman would be a Freudian therapist's case study if she ever would subject herself to much needed psychoanalysis.  I'm just amazed she hasn't had serious kidney problems by now.

Tamra: So let me leave your butt at home while I go party with your enemy.  Ooh. I drank too much tequila. Honey, I’m sorry; I broke my foot...no I’m not kidding. (Let me leave out the drunken bar dancing and showing my breasts to the cameras as we can fight about that when you see the footage when it airs. I must have blacked out. I don’t remember being naked drunk oopsie). 

Eddie: First I have to make up with that heifer so you can go act inappropriately in Mexico while I’m sitting here trying to plot my next move with my heart so I will live. You broke your foot?  Just ducky. You knew that I couldn’t lead the exercise classes because of my health and you were supposed to take over. Now I’m going to have to hire someone to do it for you so you a getting a lesser percentage of any profits this month. Your RIGHT foot? I guess your driving me to my MD appointments is out of the question. We’ll have to Uber. You are costing me left and right. The stress is going to kill me.  Literally.

No, it's embarrassing getting in to the hot tub all spanxed up. I guess it's supposed to be funny if you're drunk off your ass at 54. 

Im guessing Vickie wears about eight spanks, lol.  She’s looking her age lately .. whatever it is.

How is she embarrassing herself?

I would call it embracing herself.... Being open about trying to look slimmer by using spanx is quite brave actually.

I am truly curious about why you think she is embarrassing herself though, I’m not being narky with you. 

I DID think Shannon was hilarious with her spanx deal.  She is slimmer than a lot of women and looks lovely.  I do think her style could use a bit of an update.  She is kind of a rocker, maybe give her outfits a bit of an edge.  She needs to learn to love her look and quit comparing herself to others.  While they are updating styles, Tammy Sue could use some help.  She has a great body but she needs to step away from Forever 21 and/or juniors depts.  Yes, they fit but age wise, a little too young.

This bothered me.  David got up 3 or 4 in the morning.  He would come home and start eating chips as he was starving.  Shannon would get annoyed because dinner wasn’t ready.  Why oh why didn’t she cook earlier and let the guy eat when he came home?  IMO, he’s out busting his ass all day in construction and should have a hot meal whenever he wanted, even tho it was 3 in the afternoon.  I felt like Shannon was all about her .. her body, her crystals, Dr. Moon and all her other quirks.  I never saw her ask him how he was doing.  Two sides to every story.  Let’s hear his.

I agree the chip shaming was a head scratcher.  With kids though I am sure having dinner at 3pm when you have just gotten out of school could be a problem.  But jeezus, let the dude have some chips or a sandwich.  They were a bad match.

Doesn't she have the same issue with pooping?

This was my first thought - now the dude with the heart issue is going to have to take care of little Miss Broke Foot. Real shitty.
